Wegmans Food Markets Profits off Windstorm That Killed 6

The Rochester, NY based company is selling "I SURVIVED THE WINDSTORM OF 2017" sweatshirts in their stores.

For $29.99

The windstorm which packed winds up to 81 miles per hour, and left more than 100,000 without power, some for at least a week, also brought down trees, many crushing houses, and snapped utility poles in half, downing power lines.

The windstorm killed 6 people in the Greater Rochester, NY area.m

Wegmans Spokeswoman Jo Natale said the sweatshirts have a been hit and sales have been strong.

My Dad, a Cuban immigrant who left Cuba in 1968, in search of a better life here in the United States, used to say that Americans will buy just about anything.

That is so true.

For Wegmans to profit off a windstorm which claimed innocent lives is not only insensitive, it's disgusting.
